Waiting for the appliance repair person to show for hours! I decided to thread a saori ready made warp and put a clock near by to time my self to see how long it would take!
this warp one was 250 x30 that will be 20" in the 12.5 dent reed .SAORI READY MADE WARPS IN ALL SIZES HERE

Here I am just starting

40 mins or so latter I am AT THE HALF WAY MARK. Please note I had 3 phone calls , two texts , 4 emails so i will be decducting that time at the end …

I am through threading the heddles. I prefer to use the Saori threading holder here, to thread because I have a bad back reaching and bending over a loom is not good for me.

sleying ( threading )the reed almost done still getting interrupted with more emails and calls...

TA DA! All finished!
subtracting for intruptions I clocked about 2 hours and 7 minutes to thread a 33 yard 20" wide ready made warp! I popped it on the wx60 and I am ready for my next student! I had 2 crossed threads so very few errors but it is Saori and no worries other than those two threads! To put it on the loom took ten minutes.

still no repair person arrivial so I finished off a warp on one of my Saori wx60's in the studio.

As the repair person finely arrived and was fixing the appliance I braided and soaked a hat and put it out in the sun to dry. a gift for my DH ! A very productive day!
